Various techniques are helpful in delaying ejaculation. Some of them are using thick condoms, exercise and yoga, self help techniques (start-stop techniques, squeeze technique), taking deep breaths before ejaculation, sex therapy and counselling.

Sexual performance

As men age, pain and fatigue become real issues. Pain is caused by age-related diseases such as arthritis and diabetes, or by muscle soreness, and can make sex less enjoyable thus decreasing a man's sex drive. Likewise, fatigue can impair a man's sexual impulses and decrease his sexual performance.

This is called as Phimosis, a medical condition where there is excess of foreskin on penis and it cannot be retracted completely. It can be treated surgically by circumcision. Consult an urologist or andrologist.

Diabetes affects the nervous and circulatory systems in humans. One of three diabetic patients suffer from sexual dysfunctions. Proper diet and exercise are essential. Consult a specialist to know the best treatment for you.

A common condition which causes boy's or men's breast to swell and become larger than normal. This is called as gynecomastia. This is treatable condition and treated either by medications, correction of hormonal imbalance or surgery.

Contraceptives

Nausea, breast tenderness, delayed menstruation, lower abdominal ache, headache, vomiting and irregular menstruation are some of the temporary side-effects of the emergency contraceptive pill. However, these effects subside within a day or two depending on the metabolism of the woman. If these effects continue, it is advised to consult a doctor.

Getting pregnant

Timing is more important for getting pregnant. Having sex during fertile period (within six days before ovulation day) increases the chances of getting pregnant multiple times. Also, overall health of women is essential.

Pregnancy is technically possible during five days before ovulation through to the day of ovulation. These six days are the fertile window in a woman's cycle, and reflect the lifespan of sperm (5 days) and the lifespan of the ovum (24 hours). If a woman has sex six or more days before she ovulates, the chances that she will get pregnant is virtually zero. If she has sex five days before she ovulates, her probability of pregnancy is about 10%. At the end of the fertile window, the probability of pregnancy declines rapidly and by 12-24 hours after she ovulates, a woman is no longer able to get pregnant during that cycle.

Menstrual cycle

Delay in periods can be of multiple reasons. One of them is pregnancy. While other reasons include stress, obesity, low body weight, use of contraceptive pills, some chronic diseases, thyroid issues. In case of heavy bleeding, severe pain, nausea and vomiting, bleeding that lasts longer than seven days consult a doctor immediately.

Sex during pregnancy

As long as your pregnancy is proceeding normally (consult a gynecologist for report on your pregnancy), you can have sex as often as you like. However, as pregnancy progresses hormonal fluctuations, fatigue, nausea, weight gain and other symptoms may lower your sexual drive.
